Abstract
A casting for a housing for a flexible, configurable power converter is disclosed. The housing includes a power compartment that is configured to accept a heat sink in either of two orientations. The configurable nature of the power converter allows the same power convertible package to be used in a number of applications without having to incur the cost of developing a new power converter package.
